There is many a man and woman tossing night after night upon a sleepless bed. Some constitutional disturbance, worry or disease has so debilitated and irritated the nervous system that it cannot be quieted. Mrs, Calvin Stark, Rossmore, Ont., writes: ---“About two years ago I began to be troubled with a smothering : en- satiou at night, when I would lie down. I got so bad I could not sleep in the dark, and would have to sit up and rub my limbs, they would become so numb. My doctor said my heart and nerves were responsible. I saw Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills adver- tised and got a box to try them. I tools three boxes and can now lie down and sleep without the light burning and can rest well. I can recommend them highly to all nervous and run down women. Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills aro 50c, per box, or 3 boxes for $1.25, at all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Oat. TO ADVERTISERS Notice of ohanges must be left at thin office not later than Saturday noon.

PUBLIsnBR AND PROPRIETOP THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1909. NOTES AND COMMENTS Words are tiredly spoken. There are some who,, are speaking them all day long. They talk, talk, talk, and when done, neither they nor anyone else could tell a single thing they said worth remembering. The gift of speech is to be highly valued, bat it should be used '\with pare. When one talks very mach, Iittle attention is given to what he says, for no one eau talk all the time and give due thought to his conversation. When talk comes in a constant stream there will be very little sense to it. A silence now and then makes what one Bays more impressive Everyone likes a sociable man, one who has something pleasant to say, who has intuition as to the mood of his listener, and the bind of talk most appropriate to the time. There are times when the silent companion is the one for whom you are most grateful. It is a great thing to know when to be silent —Milwaukee Journal. It is regrettable that profanity has become common among boys. It is not in the least out of the ordinary, where a group of boys, of ten to fifteen years, is to gather on the street or in any open space, to play a game of ball, to hear them rising oaths that might suit the tongues of the proverbial fishwife or oostermonger, but which are shocking falling from the tongues of children of tender years. Of all stupid and silly vines profanity is one of the worst and most abominable. A simple etatement of fact is mach stronger than any state- ment embellished with swear words, and no lie is made any the more unbe- lievable by being framed in profanity. Profanity among men seems to be grow- ing lees and 1ese, at least in public places and among those who may claim to de - coney and some education. But the habit seems to have firmly fixed upon a great many of the boys who, may imag- ine it mannish to use profanity and smoke cigarettes.—Chesley Enterprise. In one particular at least the new Franoo•Oanadian trade convention gives Canada a distinct advantage over the United States in the French market, and it is this which is oane- ing the trade experts at Washington so mach uneasiness. Under the new arrangement, Canadian manufacturers will have a •stibetantiei advantage over their Amefiban competitors in the market for harvesting machines in which the trade is large. Oat of 81 .

C00 of such maobines imported into France in 1997 there were 58,000 of American make and 11,000 of Oanacl tan. Ia the new situation made by the Canadian agreement, Canadian makers will have an advantage of $3 t5 ou a mower, $4 82 on a reaper, $8 20 on a binder and 21.28 on a hay rake. One probable effect of this preference to Oaneda may be that American nlann- faotarers will be induced to build new plants in this country or to add to existing ones, but in any event, Ci n- ada stande to profit from the new ar rangement—Helifax Ohrgnicle. 04 course we want all the American immigrants we mare get, It would be sa• preme folly to think of ceasing to en- courage their arrival. They are the next beet material to the true blue British. In a generation or two we hope to make them as entbusiestioally British as most of thele are now optimistical- ly Canadian, Bnt surely it is plain that we should make speoial efforts to leaven the lamp with a vigorous stream of British immigration. And it is if anything, plainer that the men "at home" who can infinence the direc- tion of British emigration should do their utmost to direct it to this coun- try, where its efreot on the future of the empire may be so decisive. If the British Idles are to loco their people in any event—if it is merely a ques- tion of where they will go—then Brit- ish statesmanship, if it can bend its attention to so small a matter as the future home of a poor man and bis family, might well exert all the in- genuity it can oommand to induce this man and his usually by no meane small family to settle where they will not be lost to the British Empire.—Mon- treel Star. WHAT G. T. P. MEANS. When considering what the comple- tion of this road means to Canada, any argument, directed at the cost appears ridionloas and nu• Canadian. What does it mean to Canada? It will double the industrial and pro- ductive area of the country, and roll up the map of Canada 300 miles to the northward. It will provide competition in rate for farmers of the West and the mannfae- tarere of the East. It will develop vast coal fields in Sas- katchewan, Athabaska and Peace River for the supply of fuel to the prairies. It will give to the most northwesterly part of the prairie region, which is farther from the Atlantic, a short outlet to the Pacific. It will connect the railway system of Canada with 2,000 miles of steamboat navigation on the Athabaska, Peace, Laird and Mackenzie rivers their great lakes and the Arctic Ocean. It will develop mining and lumbering in northern British CoInmbia, and pro- vide facilities for profitable interchange of mutual necessities between the prair- ies and the mountain regions of the far west. It ensures a third outlet from and throngh the great wheat field of the West to the lakes. It will develop a thousand miles 'ot Northern Ontario and Qaebeo, at pres- ent unknown and inaooeselble. It indacee the investment of $150,000,. 000 of British capital in Canada and oorrespondiligly interests the British in- vesting public in Canadian affairs. It provides for the co-operation of the Grand Trunk Company", thus ensuring bueiness from the start, and aeouree the Government from paying on its guar- antee. It planes all points in Eastern Canada in direct connection with the West without extra coat. It transfers the through traffic inter- este of the Grand Trunk from the Unit- ed States to Canada. It provides shipping facititiee for the thousands of farmers who were compel- led to lobate land outside the land grant of the Canadian Pacific Railway. One might enumerate many other advantages which will accrue to the country from the building of this great Transcontinental line, but a perusal of those mentioned above will give some conception of the importance and mag- nitude of the enterprise, 444.44444.444. AN AGE OF PROGRESS. Farm and Dairy. Competition year by year has forced as to change our methods of farming. The mai. who shuts his eye. and refuses to adopt the improved methods soon falls behind.

Don't Prune Vines Until Chilly Weath-. er Is Over, Grapevines should not be pruned un- til cold weather has entirely passed, Any time in April is soon enough. The middle of the mouth iu more norther- ly sections is the surest date. Vines pruned just before the buds commence to swell may bleed a little, but this will cease as soon as growth starts and will do less injury to the vine than early pruning. As a general rule, the buds farther out on the canes grow the best clusters of grapes. Prune the canes to the proper length, two arms four feet in length, with spurs having two or three buds to the si•ur. Tie the arms to the trellis bars, so the clusters of fruit will hang down, with plenty of light and air, and they will be free from rot and mildew, the grapes ripening early and fully. Tho ground between the rows and under the trellis bars must be kept clean and the soil mellow to take in the dews and light rains. When the grapes commence to swell spread a thick coat of fine rotted manure, mixed with fine cut grass, around the vines and one foot out from the grape on each side. This mulch will keep the ground moist and cool, which will permit a greater development of the fruit. The vines should be planted in rows eight feet apart, planting one grape eight feet apart in the rows. This will give plenty of room for horse culture and for the air and sunshine, which are necessary for best development of both vine and fruit. By this method the vineyard can be cheaply and quickly cultivated, the canes tied up as they advance in growth and sprayed. The bunches of fruit will hang clown through the foliage, which will pre- vent mildew and rot. The following year two canes near the head or junc- tion of the arms are taken and the old canes cut off and removed, In this way we have a new growth of well ripened wood and are sure to be re- warded, when proper care is given, with an abundance of choice, well ripened clusters of grapes. The best fertilizer for grapes is rich, well rotted manure mixed with one-half peck of fine ground animal bonemeal to each bushel of manure. Mix the two to- gether, spread it evenly under the trellis bars the latter part of October and cover with a light furrow run on each side of the row of grapes, or turn under with the digging fork. This dressing, besides supplying the fertilizing matter necessary for the growth of the vines and prefection of the fruit, will make a mellow soil that will hold the moisture and make a deep soil easy for the roots to spread out and make strong, healthy growth. Grapes may be set out this month or In October, Select any land. Land that will grow the regular farm crops will grow choice grapes. Plant two-year- old vines, Good, stocky vices may, be had for 10 cents each for family eating. Twenty vines properly planted and cared for will give an abundant supply of fruit. The Concord, Niag- ara, Clinton, Catawba, Salem and Campbell Early are standard varieties of established merit Counts Eggs as Laid. c. The dishonest ben with cannibalistic tendencies can no longer defraud her employer with impunity, and if she likes eggs for her meals she is in dan- ger of decapitation. Two Wisconsin men have put their heads together and have perfected a registering device which keeps a record of every egg laid and enables chicken owners to detect any loss through theft or any other agency. This device is in the form of a band that fits over the hen's body. The expansion of the body caused by • .414 (wo' %1 • sen iaJi,�,•r` )) PAS'rltNs ON DIRD's BODY. the emission of the egg cauuns the band to spread and register' a number. If the indicator shows that a hen le laying more eggs than are collected and if the owner finds no evidence of theft he can then be sure that the bird is eating the eggs herself and either put her in the stewpan and replace her with a neete honest ±Owl or keep such a close watch over her that -she will tilt have an opportunity to indulge her cannibalistic taste. It is impossible to etre a hen of this habit once it is con- tracted. No Money In Averege Yields. 9f," 1').
